Howdy, just one question. Inverted v config. Sometimes I tune to a

Thanks in advance.

I just put up my Butternut HF9V, ground mounted. I have 36 radials
installed via a radial plate as per the manufactures instructions. I also
have it grounded at the base to a 10 copper earth grounding rod, Im using

The cover is removed by simply unscrewing the four rubber feet on the
bottom of the casing.
